Biography
Dr. Edward Mikuli is the Professor of Chemistry in Jagiellonian University. He is the Head of Phase Transitions research group and his scientific interests includes investigating phase transitions in coordination, molecular, plastic and liquid crystals. The connections between phase transitions and the change of molecular dynamics and/or crystal structure are determined, and the thermodynamic parameters of phase transitions and reorientational correlation times are calculated. Measurements in wide range of temperature (20–400 K) are performed by means of complementary methods, such as inelastic and quasi-elastic neutron scattering, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray and neutron diffraction, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, for the full interpretation of the molecular spectra, quantum chemical calculations are carried out.
